okay, that's why i asked.

i'm mainly interessed in encoder-dependant prefiltering, and you can't make
that an external part of XviD, because it doesn't exist and is deeply
related
to the encoding process.

BTW, i'm reading the paper mfa linked on doom9.
i think nic readed it, because his postproc is exactly the described one ^^
it talks of a pre-processing method who seems really cool.
i've some little ideas, but the guy worked on it for his phd thesis,
it'll be better than anything that i can empiricaly do ^^

if i understand how the whole thing work, i'll implement this
prefiltering method into XviD.
